Previous similar case: eok stealing from lost and found

Assigned: HelenasaurusRex

Involved: __Akif

On 2024-08-22 at 2:18 PM UTC, I (HelenasaurusRex) caught the __Akif facing the Lost & Found chest at the spawn technic station, I right-clicked this chest when I saw what looked like ingots disappear, I told __Akif to put these back, that they don't believe to them, Akif didn't respond, and proceeded into the public factory, when he reached the sub-station, I asked him to drop the ingots, but again, I was ignored, so I shut the doors on them, and took away his interact privileges, and kept asking them. They took zero effort to try and interact with me what so ever. Eventually, a 2 day ban was issued.

The following actions should be taken:

Any ingots found inside __Akif's inventory should be returned to the owner.

This judgement is based on the following interpretation to the rules:

Any property found in Lost & Found chests, public machines, or any kind of public storage are still property of the owner unless it is explicitly marked so a reasonable person would understand it as ceasing ownership.
